I noticed recently the channel label for these on 10847V had changed to TEST RA / TEST RA ESP from RADIOS and RADIOS ESP.
These services have carried Spanish radio services via a collection of audio PIDs since pretty much the launch of Digital+ on 19.2°E. In the last 10 years or so most of the audio tracks have been silent, except for a handful of them carrying PRISA group stations - SER, Los40, etc (in glorious 160kbps MP2 mono).
I've just investigated in light of the new labels, and it turns out they've now removed all the audio tracks from the transponder completely. The Movistar+ radio service via satellite is no more. For some reason, they're still listing the non-existent PIDs in the service info, so receivers will see them as if they still exist, but you'll hear nothing but silence.
The stations are of course all available via the web these days, as well as their FM transmitter feeds in DVB-MPE via 30°W.
Todo lo que queda es decir adiós.
